MooN Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 how to ride nearly 3 hours whilst remaining within 10km of home. something like this: nearly all pretty minor roads, which is what we like, and the dark brown bits on the trace are unpaved sections. Sun shining, spring in the air and 20 odd degrees forcast for the afternoon. I had to take N01 daughter back to uni in the afternoon so did this in the morning, set off about 10h30 up through St Bris le Vineux and on to St Cyr les Colons the village itself is "out of bounds" so cut north back under the autoroute, twice, and on to montallery and Bleigny le Carreaux. It had taken me a while to find a way out of Bleigny le Carreaux without crossing the 10km line, but a shot dirt track liason sorted the problem allowing me to cut back westwards through to Moneteau and cross the river there. There was no way to hug the northern edge of the circle without crossing out of it, so I had to work back south a little before heading towards the western sector. and some cherry orchards. soon be scrumping time... time ws getting on and I knew N01 would be getting her knickers in a twist if I didn't get back soon so from here, above Coulanges la Vineuse, I pushed on a bit down through Vinvelles, back across the river, up and down the hillclimb course at Chitry le Fort, back to St bris, cuting left up over the Col Du Cremant and back to the river at Vincelottes and thus home along the riverbanks. Got home with impeccable timing ( as always) at 12h30 just as Lunch was coming out of the oven. 100km almost exactly with a moving average of almost 50km/h . scoffed lunch, jumped in the car and did 3 hours of Autoroute taking N01 back to Dijon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
